Frequently Asked Questions

what is sciatica exactly and what causes it?

Officially sciatica is the pain occuring from the sciatic nerve, which originates from the lower spine nerve roots. Parts of these roots branch out to the legs. So sciatic pain can be felt in the lumbar region and legs, all the way down to the feet. This will be the answer you find on most of the information sources, but there is more behind this question. Why do people ask what is sciatica? The question itself can suggest two things:

Someone gave you the sciatica diagnose and want to know more about this topic, for example the cause and treatment options.

You have back and/or leg pain and you are wondering if it is sciatic pain what you feel.

In both cases people are looking for crystal clear answers to satisfy their search. At this point we are going to disappoint you and here is why:

Most of the times sciatica is not a diagnose, but a generic term for lower back pain in combination with leg pain.

There is just one cause of sciatica and that is irritation of the sciatic nerve. This irriation can have hundreds of different causes. The problem is to identify and isolate just one structure, even with modern techology like magnetic resonance imaging this is often impossible.

The source of sciatic pain can easily be confused with other sources, which can give similar pain patterns. So it is quite possible the ischiatic nerve is not irritated. This sounds confusing, right?

Most of the people who claim to know the cause and diagnose, have few or no strong evidence that supports their theories.

As you can read, the cause is difficult to tell, the diagnose is not really a diagnose. That paints a very black picture for the treatment plan, if even those two fundemental things can not be accurate, no? If you keep looking for physical structures as a cause and diagnose, you will indeed run into problems finding the proper treatment. After these disappointing facts, there is also good news, despite these difficulties researchers and health professionals have getting a diagnose based on physical structures. We already decided to step away from this structured based thinking several years ago for reasons mentioned above. Instead of pointing to a ligament, muscle or nerve, we take a look at movements and pain patterns. This sounds too simple to be truth for most people. Actually, there is a whole bunch of evidence supporting this method of diagnosing and treating patients with lumbago issues with or without leg pain.

What is lumbago with sciatica?

The meaning of lumbago is a painful condition of the lower back. It is not a diagnose, but a descriptive term without specifying any cause. The explanation of sciatica is described in the previous question. When combining these two answers, the answer the this question will be nothing more than lumbar pain plus leg pain.

What causes lower back pain?

Before answering this question, one thing has to be mentioned. There is a difference between specific and nonspecific lower back pain (LBP).

The minority of LBP is specific and indicates there is an underlying cause provocating the pain. Here are some examples of the list of over 200 possible causes:

A herniated lumbar disc

Lumbar spinal stenosis

Sciatic nerve irritation

Degenerative Disc Disease

Osteoarthritis

These 5 mentioned causes can be found through medical imaging or other types of clinical analyses.

The vast majority of LBP is nonspecific. The term nonspecific is pretty confusing. It suggests there is no specific cause for the pain. If this was the truth, this group of people couldn’t be, because the cause is unknown. The only thing that could be done is to decrease the symptoms. The only thing the term ‘nonspecific’ demonstrates, is the fact that no connection can be shown between structural lumbar changes and the pain.

If a classification system will be used that is not only based on anatomic structures, a lot of LBP can become specific. As a consequence it will be a lot easier to formulate an effective treatment plan. One solution can be to introduce a classification system based on movements and pain pain patterns,

Conclusion

There are many diseases and pathologies that can cause lower back pain. Despite this huge list, we believe the number one cause for LBP can be found in inaccurate movements and not anatomical structures.

If you do nothing, nothing will change.

Among other things, these nerves give power to the muscles and give sensation to the skin. It is through the spinal nerves that you can direct movement and feel temperature, pressure, and pain. These sensations are not just normal parts of life; they also provide a natural alarm system: they warn you that a bodily structure is about to sustain some damage or has already been damaged.
